HBO's John Adams Premieres Tonight!

HBO's John Adams, a 7-part miniseries, premieres tonight at 8 p.m. with 2 back-to-back episodes. The miniseries was executive produced by Tom Hanks and stars Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney as John and Abigail Adams. I strongly recommend it to all HBO subscribers, not only because I think Paul Giamatti is one of the best actors of our generation, but also because of the strong attention given to detail and historical accuracy.

Check out the trailer:





Also, here is an excellent "Making Of" feature that shows how the visual effects were created, as well as all of the thought that went into the sets and costumes:



Finally, here is a review of the miniseries and an article that features Giamatti, as well as David McCullough, who wrote the book on which the miniseries was based.
